Watch Alucarda For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Demonic imagery? Check. Inverted crosses? Definitely. Satanic orgies? Check. Lesbian nuns? Oh yes!. Creepy and disturbing exploitation piece from Mexico, this 1978 under-rated gem follows the events that occur after a young girl arrives at a convent to begin practising all things nun-like. She quickly befriends a fellow nun-ette, and they are swiftly tempted away from the path of the virtuous by a rather rousing soundtrack and the act of cavorting naked through fields. It's all very odd, but highly watchable. The soundtrack is superb, and the actors likable enough. Exploitation the way it used to be done.Recommended.

"Alucarda" is a surprisingly disgusting and terrifying film. With the absurd story and bad dubbing, I started watching it and thought 'Okay another run of the mill Euro-trash horror from the 70's.' Boy was I mistaken. The images you are shown here definitely stick with you. I found myself thinking about this one for a few days after seeing it. It is all very surreal and subliminal and extremely effective: images of Christ burning on a cross, Satan, nuns covered in blood, a gruesome decapitation and some very sacrilegious images all add up to a picture that is sure to offend Christian viewers. Not recommended for the religious.All in all, I am just surprised at how good it was. Bizarre and a little campy, but genuinely creepy and sleaze-tastic! Not bad on the gore scale either. A must-see for Euro-horror and exploitation fans.8 out of 10, kids.

Fair enough, nunsploitation isn't my favourite horror sub-genre; but given all I'd heard about this Mexican flick, I was expecting a much better film. The film reminded me a lot of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, as we follow a young girl's odyssey into something above her head. The film fuses nuns with satanic rituals, a commentary on the church and a bucket load of blood and nudity. Alucarda comes together well in terms of style, but in terms of substance; the film has none, and since not everything makes sense; this can be a difficult film to care too much about. The film opens with the birth of a baby, and then moves on to follow an adolescent in a convent. This adolescent is Alucarda; a young lady that doesn't believe in the church and takes a vow to worship Satan instead. After corrupting one of her fellow pupils and meeting a rather odd gypsy in the woods; the pair manages to get on the wrong side of their religious leaders, and end up inspiring them to hypocritically commit evil as they attempt to exorcise the demons from the pair...which leads to a lot of blood and nudity.Director Juan López Moctezuma clearly cared more about the style of the film than anything else, and this is the strongest element. The film looks great, and titular scenes that see such things as a naked girl covered in blood attempting to claw a nun's eyes out are major highlights. It's quite unclear as to exactly what the point is, however, and this is unfortunate as if this film had been fused with a strong plot; it could have been a true masterpiece of cult cinema. The atmosphere is good and truly surreal as we follow the girls' descent into Satanism, and the director always makes sure that the action is pitch black and memorable for that reason. The film is littered with taboo breaking scenes that include lesbianism and bizarre torture rituals; but it isn't until the end when it lets rip with a fitting bloodbath of an ending, that would have been really good if the action leading up to it was on par. I can certainly see why people like this film, as it features some great scenes and certainly delivers on it's cult movie promise; but personally I can't say I enjoyed it all that much.

...Moctezuma was heavily influenced by the Silent films of the teens and 20's and it shows in this film..for its strong points are clearly the beautiful eerie images throughout..THe abstract Convent set in dark creative lighting..the Nuns in their Mummy like shrouds (they are more disturbing than the blood and gore..of which there is plenty)...The Erotic scenes between Alucarda and Justine..beautiful Images of Alucarda in her funeral black Victorian dress.My favorite Image from this film..possibly.. is the initial introduction of Alucarda as she turns around from the shadows to greet her new friend Justine whos newly arrived to the Orphanage..Its a quick creative dreamlike tidbit..the likes I've never seen in film before..Alucarda and Justine's early scenes have a poignancy and loneliness not unlike Soledad Miranda and her playmates in Vampiros Lesbos....It can be touching..Tina Romero(Alucarda)..I'm happy to say is still quite attractive and can be frequently seen in the current Telenovelas(Spanish Soaps)...I say grab a copy of Alucarda from Mondo Macabro..for a little taste o 70's Mexico..its a good little collectors piece...Christopher,2006
